Three scenarios
1. She is a liar/slut trying to blackmail
2. He is a pig who treats women like chattle
3. This is a conspiracy theory to remove him from the IMF.
Fourth scenario...
New York is rotten to the core and if you can pay there you can pay anywhere...
Strauss-Kahn is a modern day Marquis de Sade, an aristocratic serial rapist and quite possibly an accomplished killer.
He got caught up with an equally conniving piece of shiite and there was an unavoidable scene.
So, now the New York establishment has to run this big puppet show to find out if this raped whore has any information on any of the other equally filthy VIP characters they love before they arrange a cover up and her death...
You forgot one:
All of the above.
